I made these for a party and everybody loved them! Folding the triangles was a bit time consuming so I stopped before I used up all the filling. The next day for dinner, I used whole sheets of phyllo and rolled up the leftover filling like burittos. Turned out great that way too and was much easier.

Oh yeah!! I used 1/2 EVOO & 1/2 butter because I do that with everything now. Also used 4 oz of light cream cheese and a few dashes of mint. This made a dozen 4" triangles which I immediately froze in single portions. Now, when I'm too lazy to cook, I just serve one of those up with a salad. Thanks so much Dancer - I took one to work for lunch one day and was the envy of all my coworkers!
